Rotan: The result came from a great desire to win

The day before, Zhytomyrske Polissia beat Shakhtar Donetsk in the central match of the fourth round of the Ukrainian Premier League on the opponent's field. After the end of the game, the head coach of "Wolves" Ruslan Rotan commented on the performance of his own team. "The result is very important. Especially against the champion of Ukraine. We understood that and wanted to win. But when you play with the champion, you cannot be 100% sure. And Shakhtar wanted it, and we wanted it. The changes in the lineup are related to more solid defensive play, because something had to be changed. Especially for this match, given that Shakhtar's players, especially the Brazilians, work well with the ball. The main task was to go from one to the other. Therefore, the choice fell on players who are younger and more physically mobile. The first victory at Arena Lviv, which lifted some kind of curse? Perhaps. You need to look at football from a different angle. You have to really want it. I will note the mood of the team for victory. Example: we play two matches with Copenhagen, we play the beginning of the championship with a good and high-quality game, but there is no result with Copenhagen and Zora. The opposite is the case with Shakhtar. Not the best game from our side in terms of handling the ball, but there is a result. This is a paradox. This result came from a great desire to win. Bushan? We both win together and lose together. Therefore, it would be wrong to blame Bushan for the missed goals. But you need to change, give others a chance. We missed a lot at the beginning of the season, so we want more balance. Kudryk's departure today is connected with this," said the Ukrainian specialist. In the next round, Zhytomyr Polissia will host Kudrivka.
